Milwaukee Mud Fest presents: Electric Boogaloo!

Mudwrestling. Water fights. Flesh. Noise. Nasty. Prepare for a night of chaos-drenched liberation at the second annual Midwest Mudfest, now greased up and reloaded as Electric Boogaloo. It’s louder, sweatier, and more unapologetically unhinged than ever before.

We're talking mud-covered wrestling, freak flag performances, and bands that don’t just play—they possess the room. Midwest weirdos unite: this is your church.

The darkwave duo that sounds like the soundtrack to your post-apocalyptic dreams. Brothers Kevin and William Bush deliver a lush blend of synth, R&B, and cinematic pop. With credits in Netflix’s Wednesday and shoutouts across the scene, Immortal Girlfriend brings the drama, the depth, and the dance.

Funk-laced hip-hop meets soul-soaked rebellion. Led by the dynamic Shami and Moira, this six-piece collective is as politically charged as they are sonically infectious. Their genre-bending performances are unpredictable in the best way—one minute you're slow dancing, the next you’re raging in the pit.

Archbichup Bobby Bump and DCun Joey Grind run The Cult of Nasty like it’s the gospel of your dirtiest dreams. Thong-core hymns, glittery depravity, and drum-thumping chaos. Imagine a church service hosted by a sex clown and a walking rave machine—if that doesn’t move your spirit, you're already dead inside. They’re here to spread NASS, convert the unconverted, and liberate you—body, soul, and crotch.

The opening riff punches you in the face. The vocals spit on your grave. VANG! is pure punk combustion—members of Bleach Party, Mystery Actions, Awful, and Heart Shaped Hate teaming up Voltron-style to melt your damn eardrums.Meg shreds and howls like a banshee on fire, Lucy pounds the bass like it owes her money, Elyse cuts deep with every riff, and Jay bashes the kit like the last drum on Earth. With only 3 singles out and more en route, VANG! is the beautiful bastard child of riot grrrl chaos and Saturday morning cartoons soaked in blood.

Expect full-contact mud wrestling, spontaneous water fights, and a pop-up tattoo flash station powered by the infamous crew at Iron Fist Tattoo. They're slinging bold, fast, no-regret ink while the chaos rages around you.Flash mobs, wild costumes, and messy behavior are not only encouraged—they're practically the dress code.
